Spiritist Magazine \u2014 Journal of Psychological Studies \u2014 1858 > June<\/strong> > The laziness<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A man left very early and went to the square to hire workers. Now, there he saw two men of the people, sitting with their arms folded. He approached one of them and approached him like this: \u201cWhat are you doing there?\u201d To which he replied: \u201cI have no work.\u201d Then the one looking for workers said: \u201cTake your tool and come to my field on the hillside, where the south wind blows; you shall cut the heather and turn the ground until nightfall. The task is hard, but you will get a good salary.\u201d The man of the people put the hoe on his shoulder, thanking him for it, with all his heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hearing this, the other workman got up and approached, saying: "Sir, let me go work in the field too." And having told them both to follow him, he marched ahead to show the way. Then, when they reached the side of the hill, he divided the work in two and left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When he left, the last of the hired workers set fire to the weeds on the plot that he had been lucky enough to turn over the earth with his hoe. Under the scorching sun, sweat beaded on his forehead. The other imitated him, at first muttering, but soon he stopped his work and, putting the hoe in the ground, sat down beside him, watching his companion's work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now in the evening the owner of the field came and examined the work. Calling the diligent worker, he congratulated him saying: \u201cYou did well. Here is your salary.\u201d And he sent him away, giving him a silver coin. The other also approached, demanding the price of his wages, but the owner said to him: \u201cBad worker, my bread will not satisfy your hunger, because you have left uncultivated the part of my field that was entrusted to you. It is not fair that the one who has done nothing is rewarded as the one who has worked well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"laziness\"
Vineyards were treated as a work place for last-minute workers in the text of The Gospel According to Spiritism.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

And fired him without giving him anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I say to you that strength was not given to man, nor intelligence to his spirit, to spend his days in idleness, but to be useful to his fellow men. Now, he whose hands are unoccupied and whose spirit is idle will be punished and must begin his task anew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Truly I say to you, your life will be set aside as a worthless thing when your time is fulfilled. Understand this as a comparison. Which of you, having in the orchard a tree that bears no fruit, will not say to the servant, \u201cCut down that tree and throw it into the fire, for its branches are barren?\u201d Now, just as that tree will be cut down because of its barrenness, so the lazy man's life will be thrown into waste, because he has been barren in good works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laziness: workers of the last work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Gospel According to Spiritism is a book by Allan Kardec and the Spirits that was published in Paris on April 15, 1864, which used this text, but with a different guise.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is good to know that Kardec made use of his studies with Revista Esp\u00edrita to add part of them to his great work, recognized as basic to Spiritism, which, among them, gives greater focus to religious, ethical and behavioral issues of the human being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
